Another busted door handle

Geez Louise, another busted door handle. Looks complicated to fix, as the whole door must be taken apart. There are UTube videos with repair instructions. (My Microwave: HMV805iu/01) Also, the convection oven cooks at a lower temperature than anticipated--cooking takes longer, food does not crisp up. As this is an older model, hopefully they have upgraded the consturction of this over the range microwave convection oven. Looks nice, though!

Lackluster Problem Microwave

We remodeled our kitchen 3 years ago and added all Bosch appliances. We were very disappointed with the quality of this 800 series microwave. It cost more than similar items and is not worth the cost. The LCD display has already stopped working properly with several lights burned out making it difficult to accurately read the time. Just a poorly constructed, substandard materials product. We are disappointed in this microwave bearing the Bosch name which we thought we could trust.

Cheaply Made

When we remodeled our kitchen, we bought Bosch appliances because we thought Bosch was a premium brand. Not so! This particular microwave is very cheaply made. The aluminum handle is connected to the door with cheap plastic connectors. After only modest use, the handle broke off at the connector. In looking at other reviews, this is apparently a special feature of this model. Bosch was nice enough to send me a replacement connector at no charge along with the schematics. But I still had to do the complicated disassembly and re-assembly of the door. Warning-- an extended warranty does not cover this problem, as door handles are considered "cosmetic" and exempted from coverage.

Some problem as other reviewers. Purchased unit in Dec 12 because Of the Bosch reputation for building quality products. Not true. Handle attachments are plastic and break easily. Have to replace for the second time. Will not purchase a Bosch product again.

Terrible choice

I purchased this in 2012. In 2016 the door handle broke off in my hand, the vent above has come dislogged and can not be put back in place. The service charges are $129.00 for the trip charge plus $30.00 per every 15 minutes required to fix it plus the cost of parts. Outrageous! For this price you may as well purchase a new Microwave since the trip charge and $30.00 per every 15 minutes plus the cost of parts would ultimately cost the same as a new Microwave. Cheaply built, would not by Bosch again.

Extremely poor built quality. The door handle is falling apart along with surrounding plastic. Never would buy another one like that.

I purchased new kitchen appliances 7/29/11. All were Bosch except for the dishwasher. Why did I buy Bosch? I honestly thought German engineering was superior to all others. I am very disappointed - two repairs to the side by side refrigerator and now a repair needed to the microwave. The magnetron, diode and the cap HU need to be replaced. The repairman came out 12/13/14 and the repair will be made 12/23/14 due to difficulties in obtaining the parts. The microwave was obviously not designed to the standards I had expected or else it would not have failed after 36 + months of light use. Hopefully the duel fuel range will not fail and the refrigerator will not need an additional repair.
